Clugston Charity of the Year

Each year Clugston asks its staff to nominate a charity to support for the next 12 months and for 2018/19 SUDEP Action has been selected.

Epilepsy is one of the top-ten causes of early death. Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy or SUDEP can often be traumatic for families and distressing for professionals, all of whom have questions.

SUDEP Action, focus their efforts on the priorities that bereaved families tell them are important:

• To prevent deaths
• To be supported
• To be involved

They have won national and international honours for their achievements to date, but recognise there is much more work to do.

For the next 12 months Clugston will embark on organising challenges and events to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic cause.

As well as supporting the Company’s Chosen Charity, Clugston offer match funding up to the value of £350 for any employee participating in a fundraising event. This has proved very popular with an additional 30 charities benefitting from this scheme.
